kristin fisher is live from college park. she has more on the latest in this investigation and the court proceedings. good morning, kristin. >> reporter: good morning. these two officers are still facing second degree assault and misconduct in office. but that first degree assault charge, it has been dropped because the judge essentially ruled yesterday that there was not enough evidence to prove that that student had sustained serious enough injuries to warrant that first degree assault charge. kind of the background on that is in the state of maryland, first degree assault only occurs when somebody causes or attempts to cause serious physical injury. yesterday in court, the judge said that prosecutors had not presented enough evidence proving that the student john mckenna had sustained such serious or permanent injuries or that the officers intended to inflict such injuries. in the judge's own words, there's been no permanency. he recovered from his head injury. prosecutors clearly disagree. they say the proof is in the vid
